Microsoft Word - MS Word documents transferred via Remote Desktop seem to lose permissions

Microsoft Word - MS Word documents transferred via Remote Desktop seem to lose permissions

MS Word documents transferred via Remote Desktop seem to lose permissions

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 02:07 PM PDT

Hello,

For my work, I have to type documents in my computer, log in to work via Remote Desktop and either open a Word document there and copy and paste, or log in to RDP with Local Resources C drive option and drag and drop my typed document to the RDP. 

However, when someone on the other end wants to open the document and edit it, they get a message saying they don't have permission. 

In the RDP folder, I am able to right click on the document => Properties => Security => Edit group or user names => Add a user, but that is for each document and for each of the 4 users - this could end up being hundreds of changes. 

So my question is...can I make this change once and permanently for any or all documents and any or all users? 

My MS Word permission for my computer shows Unrestricted Access, so I don't think that is the issue here. 

Thanks in advance,

Nancy

Something opens Word documents I didn't. Can't see them until turning off interrupted by message asking to save them

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 12:24 PM PDT

It happened almost every day or two in my old account. I have just opened a new administrator account five days ago and the problem started again: just after the computer is already closing (I always make sure I close everything including FIle Explorer, win8 apps and all) it says it can't close because a file (or Word) is open. and when I choose to close the file manually and the PC reverts back to the desktop, I see the message in the pic below. No Word document in the taskbar or elsewhere. 

This time it was the same document twice, others were different documents. And last time it happened I saw it was calling them "Document31" and numbers around that, now it was Document1 and Document2. And when I save them somewhere i see the content of an actual doc of mine... (! ??). What's going on here?

Oddity in booklet format

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 11:49 AM PDT

I have made a 4-page booklet from one sheet of 8.5 by 11. I started with the MS template from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/booklet-TC104009678.aspx. Everything is OK but when the text runs off the bottom of one page it does not automatically go onto the next page. Seems strange.

How do I automatically open a Word document at startup?

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 10:42 AM PDT

So that 2 specific Word documents open automatically each time I start up, I've created shortcuts to them and placed these in the Startup menu. This has worked fine in the past, but not anymore.


At startup, 'X.docx' opens, and so does 'Y.docx'. And another Word window with a File In Use dialogue box saying

X.docx is locked for editing by 'Andrew Dillon'.

Do you want to:

[radio buttons]

  • Open a Read Only copy
  • Create a local copy and merge your changes later
  • Receive notification when the original copy is available

[OK / Cancel]

And another Word window with a File In Use dialogue box saying Y.docx...

Looking in Windows' configuration editor (msconfig), Startup tab, X.docx & Y.docx are listed twice. I can disable 1 of each, but this doesn't solve it.

Thank you for your help!

Automatized "copy-paste" from ppt to word

Posted: 11 Oct 2014 09:16 AM PDT

Hi All,

I have several 200 slide powerpoint documents, and I would like to create 1 word document, which includes the "copy-pastes" of each slide of the mutiple powerpoint documents.

In other words, the word document would include the following elements:
- copy paste of 1st slide of 1st ppt document
- blank line
- copy paste of the 2nd slide of the 1st ppt document
- blank line
- ...
- copy paste of the last slide of the 1st ppt document
- blank line
- copy paste of the 1st slide of the 2nd ppt document

How could I do that quickly?

Many thanks

Service... or disservice

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 11:22 PM PDT

Dear OFFICE/SCHMOFFICE TEAM

After having spent almost 10 hours tonight with an open wallet - with the intent of securing a family deal for the Office system... but having a few (only 3-4) basic questions regarding the Office pack - and (after quite a few attempts) none of them were answered... why should I waste another night in an attept to give my money to a company that obviously has no interest in giving my any service, whatsoever????

My WORD 2003 version is still working. Your 2007 version crashed on 3 separate computers when given a simple task (replace ^p^p^p with ^p^p).

I have sent quite a few emails asking if this basic flaw has been corrected in later versions - I have never been answered.

Since you don't dignify honest questions with an answer, I won't bother you any more.

I spent some time on elaborating my question... but since I have not even got one lame attempt from you to provide me with honest answers, I won't bother anymore. My question will probably be filed somewhere... but since I am not a major source of income, the answer to my question is LOW priority.

I understand that.

And since you seem to value your younger users more than the middle-aged - well, that's your decision.

Since I can no longer buy your OFFICE software package on a DVD, usable for 5 computers, and I also feel that your user service is aiming for the younger generation on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram or whatever... why should I bother to buy your latest Office pack? It seems to be that I'm paying more for less (at least there doesn't seem to be much customer service involved). Wouldn't it be easier to get the free OpenOffice pack?

I started this evening with the intent of buying the Microsoft Office pack... but the few questions I had, have not been answered. At the moment, I'm not in the buying mood. I'll probably wait 'till after New Year's... and I'm not sure the wait will be in your favour. Because I will ask everybody I know: "Why should I pay money for a package that I can get for free?" One answer that might have persuaded me would have been: "Because of the service!" But when I can´t get any personal service (or it is to obscure) on the night I'm trying to BUY MY WAY IN... then I doubt it will get any better if they know I've already paid.

I SO WANTED to become a paying custemor to your service tonight... but I won't pay for being ignored, and refused answers to questions that matter a lot regarding my usage of your software.

My suggestion would be to add a SKYPE-CHAT, instant service - I saw a Skype button and thought it provided that service, but no, it was just a sub-page to questions regarding Skype.

And another issue is that you offer limited options regarding the complaint/issue/question.

That limits even more the possibility that the complaint will reach the right parties.

So I'd be very surprised to get an answer that truly addressed my issues. But I hope this will help you improve, so that if I decide to give you another try next year, it won't be so f**king difficult to post questions directly to the right persons,

Citation and Bibliography Tool for Law Students and Legal Profession

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 09:11 PM PDT

I have been in school for a few years studying law. When writing long research papers one of the only ways I have found to keep my references straight is to use the Citation Tool in Word. It has the wonderful ability to keep all the documents and books used organized and can even generate the citation, footnotes and bibliography at the end. However, since the legal career field uses an unusual method of citation called the "Bluebook" it is difficult to use the tool to form citations. Bluebook uses citation clauses and footnotes for legal practice and footnotes and a bibliography in academics. It also has a strange system of abbreviations and signal phrases, utilizing a lot of Latin terms.

I spent a good amount of time on the internet one day trying to find a way to use the Citation Tool in word to help me when writing legal documents. Although "Bluebook" is a copyrighted publication, with the amount of people in the legal profession I can not foresee many of them that would not pay a reasonable fee for a plugin that would take some of the work off of them and their paralegals.

Is there any way for Microsoft to consider this idea and create a way to either integrate this style guide into the Citation tool, or perhaps update Word to allow for third party applications that can be appended to the program to add different styles?

Any thoughts from anyone else?

Document Imaging

Posted: 10 Oct 2014 04:30 PM PDT

I am trying to install document imagining, but am unsuccessful.  The method I'm using is below:

  1. Click the Start button , and then click Control Panel.
  2. In Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Programs and Features.
  3. Right-click the name of the Microsoft Office edition that you installed or right-click Microsoft Office Word 2007 (depending on whether you installed Word as part of Office or as an individual program), and then click Change.
  4. Click Add or Remove Features, and then click Continue.
  5. Under Installation Options, click the plus sign (+) next to Office Tools.
  6. Click the arrow next to Microsoft Office Document Imaging, click Run all from my Computer, and then click Continue.

The process ends by stating that the the installation was unsuccessful.  I'm using MS Word 2007 and Windows Vista.

Any guidance would be great!!  Thanks a bunch,  Uncle Dewey

Converting Windows Software Raid 5 to Linux Software Raid 5

Even if your guess is incorrect, why would you even want to keep the

To that end, you need to back up your important data somehow and restore
once you have linux installed. If you don't currently have a backup
solution, you should really have one anyway, so now's a good time to
implement one and test it.

Posted: 17 Apr 2007 04:08 PM PDT


I'll 2nd that as thats what I did, but first make sure you defrag the drive
a few times, then put the ubuntu CD in and reboot. Once you have rebooted
you can have the choice to install Ubuntu over the whole disk or create in
free space. GParted the partition application opens up if you select free
space and you can reduce the size of the initial partition and create a new
one.

Backup your data and have the WinXP disc handy, just in case things go
wrong. Fingers crossed.

Try this appending "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel boot line.

This should give you a bash shell very early before anything in rc

rw to change the passwd. BTW don't rely on mount since it will give
you bad info about mounted partitions.

Kimi,
OK, don't get confused about Duration time and Work time - they are two
separate entities in Project. Duration is the time span (normally
measured in working days between the task Start and Finish) and Work,
(normally expressed in hours), is the amount of effort one or more
resources will need to complete the task. If a resource is assigned to
work on the task 100%, then Work hours WILL equal Duration hours.

You may or may not want a fixed duration type task, it depends on
whether the task is effort driven or not. Let's assume you do want a
fixed duration task, that can be set in one of two ways. If you want all
your tasks to be fixed duration (the default is fixed units, i.e. fixed
resource assignment allocation) go to Tools/Options/Schedule tab and
change the "Default task type". If you only want a particular task to be
fixed duration, select the task and hit the Task Information icon or
menu item. On the Advanced tab change the "Task Type" and uncheck the
"effort driven" box next to it.

Once the above is done, enter the 30 days (I'll assume you want working
days instead of calendar days) into the Duration field. Assign your
resource or resources. Then in the Work field, (you will probably need
to add that to whatever view you are using), enter 40 hours. You should
see the resource allocation change to 17% in the Resources Name field.
Now you have a task of 30 days duration with an assigned resource who
will spend 40 hours sometime during that 30 day period working on the
task.

Hope this helps.

Redistribution of effort on adding new resource

Posted: 04 Oct 2005 02:44 AM PDT


Amit wrote: 

To come up with a formula, I'd have to do a series of these types of
events, then figure out how project is doing the calculation. But when
I first looked at the numbers, without having Project available, it
looked reasonable because when you added the third resource, the work
of the other 2 decreased in "reasonable proportion", as did the
duration (roughly a third). Which is what I expect with an effort
driven task.
How project handles these things doesn't always make sense to many of
us. But once you understand what it does, it's usually fairly
predictable, given you know the "rules" by which it operates.
Hope this helps in your world.

Licensing Info

Posted: 03 Oct 2005 11:35 PM PDT

You need an SQL licence for every user/device (depending on licencing mode) that derives information from the SQL Server.
In your case it is dependent on the hardware configuration of the SQL server what would be the best value
to either aquire between 70 and 120 more SQL CALS "or" switch over to a per processor licence.

This is a concept called multiplexing and it has been discussed here and resides in the google groups archives now.

http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.project.server/browse_frm/thread/6b0345a602ddd789/2e792e5a4f02f654?q=multiplexing+&rnum=1&hl=en#2e79 2e5a4f02f654

Two Things

1.) Most Microsoft people have not known much about PS licencing.
2.) Watch out for buying SQL 2000 and then needing to go to 2005 when your business application or Project Server
suggests it. You don't want to have to buy twice in a short period of time so you may want to consider a software assurance
situation.

BCWP Incorrect Summary Tasks

Posted: 02 Oct 2005 07:49 PM PDT

hi Brad,

I applied manual calculations and the BCWP should be 19,868 as you have
stated.
However we still need to cosider the Duration and the timephased costs.

Note that Project calculates BCWP at the task level differently than at the
assignment level. See:

http://www.ksu.edu/InfoTech/epm/training/msproject2002/19%20Earned%20Value.doc.
